| India must take precaution with regard to China: PM | | | AGENCIES
New Delhi, Sep 6: India has to take adequate precautions but not give up hope of peaceful resolution of issues with China, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Monday in reaction to "pinpricks" by Beijing on Jammu and Kashmir and other issues.
Relations between the two Asian giants continued to be a mix of competition and cooperation and the effort should be to create a milieu in which there can be peaceful competition, he emphasised during an interaction with a group of editors here.
He pointed out that he had worked with the Chinese President Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, whom he had been meeting almost every year.
Manmohan Singh was responding to queries on the state of India-China relations after Beijing denied visa to a senior Indian Army general on grounds that his command included Jammu and Kashmir.
The Prime Minister, whose first year in office saw the finalization of guiding principles and political parameters to resolve the boundary question, has always advocated that there was enough room for a rising India and a rising China in the Asian hemisphere.
Singh's comments came amid a difficult phase in India-China relations marred by sharp differences over a host of issues, including Beijing's practice of issuing stapled visas to residents of Jammu and Kashmir.
About Pakistan, the Prime Minister maintained that it was his sincere belief that India had to engage it regardless of the complexity of the set up in that country, but he was also sensitive to the Indian public opinion after the Mumbai terror attack.
Asked about the failure of the talks between External Affairs Minister S M Krishna and his Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi in July, Singh said that "there are always mishaps" in Indo-Pak ties.
Engagement and dialogue were the only way forward in Indo-Pak ties, he said, adding that he hoped that Qureshi would accept Krishna's invitation to visit India.
